The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English

Abstract

THIS is so far the best of the smaller and cheaper English dictionaries that comparison seems almost ludicrous. We have a book of nearly 1500 pages, well printed and stoutly bound, for seven and six-pence. Simply as a book, it must be the cheapest thing now on the market. But the contents deserve a close examination, and increase at every step our admiration.
